Tennis star Venus Williams has issued a legal response to the wrongful death lawsuit filed against her last month.

Williams is being sued by the family of 78-year-old Jerome Barson, who died after a car crash in Palm Beach Gardens Florida. The Barson family's lawsuit claims that Jerome's wife Linda suffered "severe traumatic injuries," including a cracked sternum, a shattered right arm, and a broken right wrist, hand and fingers.

The wrongful death suit alleges that Jerome Barson suffered a fractured spine, severed main arteries and massive internal bleeding in the June 9 crash. Barson died 13 days later.

In her response, Williams and her attorney claim the other party was guilty of negligence in the crash and not her.

In a statement previously released to CNN, Williams' attorney Malcolm Cunningham said, "Ms. Williams entered the intersection on a green light. The police report estimates that Ms. Williams was traveling at 5 mph when Mrs. Barson crashed into her. Authorities did not issue Ms. Williams with any citations or traffic violations. This is an unfortunate accident and Venus expresses her deepest condolences to the family who lost a loved one."

The 37-year-old athlete claims the injuries sustained by the Barsons were a result of "the unreasonable failure of the Plaintiff to use an available and operational seat belt."

Williams is asking for the family to turn over multiple documents, including Jerome Barson's autopsy report, federal income tax returns, life insurance policies and medical records.

In addition, the five-time Wimbeldon champion is asking that portions of the suit be stricken from the case because they are immaterial and impertinent to the lawsuit. Williams' attorney filed a request to strike comments regarding the injuries sustained to Linda Barson, and a paragraph on Florida crash fatalities statistics to be removed from the suit.
